And we are just going to have to disagree about police: I think police CULTURE is the problem now–not just training–and we need national policing reform to curtail it.

Wed, 20 Aug 2014 20:06:23 +0000http://greendragonblog.com/?p=1958#comment-1419What would help is for the sane decent people to get more courageous and unified in standing up to the right-wing Brownshirt bullies who are the loudest and most persistent voices in the public square. We need especially to ‘work the refs’ in the mainstream media with the same vigor that the Tea Party extremists do. We need to shame the MSM from perpetuating false equivalence that in effect legitimize the tactics of the Neo-Confederate wing. Why do these guys walk away, claiming victory after pointing heavy weapons at Federal agents at the Bundy Ranch in Nevada, while a young woman at a NYC Occupy protest does jail time for reflexively giving an elbow to a cop who grabs her breasts from behind unexpectedly? We’re not going to change the really toxic right-wing types, but we need to de-legitimize them as a force in politics.
